For the first Franco-German Digital Conference, on October 27th, Atos and Siemens were in Paris to demonstrate the importance of their Global alliance for European Digital Transformation. During a visit to the conference by Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany, and François Hollande, President of the French Republic, Atos and Siemens presented digital solutions that they have developed together for digital remote service, Internet of Things and Cyber Security. These are all necessary for Industry 4.0 – helping customers to transform their business through the use of digital technologies.

Commenting during the conference, Thierry Breton, Chairman said: “Today’s conference underlines the importance of Franco-German business collaboration in the digital age. Our Alliance with Siemens was born five years ago with a clear ambition – from Day one – to create a European champion of the Digital era. Every day, our 100,000 engineers cooperate with Siemens businesses in advanced data analytics, cyber security, cloud computing services and Internet of things, and demonstrate the state-of-the-art capabilities that such an exceptional French-German Alliance can create and that we can bring to our markets and clients.”
